I drew my character :D Yessss when I first made this toon, her hair was short and black. BUT in fear of looking like Norma, I avoided using the curly hair.
I am thinking of trying to do commissions :( Still haven't gotten issue 10 and the Side Stories 2 and above. I feel like I am missing a lot of other npc stories :(
I just need to get used to drawing more quickly >.<
Signet Farming

999!! xD Want to go on a shopping spree? ahaha (hmm wonder if I can test a build idea :D)
So I made something for a friend's bday. xD Took me a while. It was colored btw. Also had some ref for the arms.
:S I needs MOAR face shading practice. (If you knew how many refs I needed to do just that ahahaha)
MIA
After all the silence I am being benched for now.
(My video card has decided to end its long and grueling service. Its temp goes up to 100c just at the intro before the splash screen. It peaked at 114c when I tried lowering the gfx while on the splash screen.
With all the problems I've been juggling.. TSW was actually helping me stay a bit sane. It is the only place I've got people to talk to...)
A screenshot of Kaidan drops. These are loot from rare mobs.
OI TUMLR
Why are my underlined words now showing on my tumblr page :( It appears on edit.
Eidolon Raid [N'gha-pei the Corpse Island]
1. BOOWARNING I cannot stress how this is very helpful. Boowarning tells you when to run, stack, or hide. (IN BIG YELLOW\RED LETTERS!)
2. HP AT 4k DoTs call "Insanity" are placed on everyone periodically.
3. At least 2 CUs in you group. Hard to live through this fight with 6 stacks of Insanity. (Unless you tanking, in which case... I pity the healers). [I usually ar\pist so I have ww instead for emergency.. but I switch to ar\shotty if CU is needed.]
4. Tanks FIRST Do NOT attack ANYTHING until a tank has had a go at it.
5. 700k Mark My fave part... but will make most any people who are new to this raid panic. At around 700k hp, SHADES WILL APPEAR. They will attack ANYONE WHO IS WALKING\RUNNING (RJ seems to be ok).
6. 2nd chance At 50%, people who died can get back into the fight. Avoid the adds and run back to the rest of the raid!
A bit of a explanation of the fight: You start attacking the big guy. He has a aoe skill that does more dmg if you guys are spread out. So when he does this attack, stack on the person the big boss is targeting then run out of the circled (stand IN the aoe with the person.. ONLY if there is more than 4 people).
When he casts "..In the Depths" STOP shooting and HIDE YO ASS! BLUE PHASE comes and attacking him is a NO NO.
This Blue Phase (BP) is a tad bit different. In this BP, you should NOT attack the big boss. Adds and mini-bosses will come out here. The big boss appears on your mini map as a white circle with a blue dot. The smaller red dots are the mini-boss adds (looks like Feigr Lord). IMPORTANT: ♤ These mini-bosses are super powered when they appear. They will have this glowing aura on them and attacking them to soon WILL make things hard. The raid NEEDS to WAIT for them to STOP at certain corners of the area. When they stop, they float up a bit and the aura disappears, SPANK HIM!! (but don't forget.. tanks first!)
[EDIT: I learned that these guys also reset position. I've only seen it done when there are more than one of them, but my raid attacked one too early so tank took aggro and just ran to the 2nd squid. The first squid reset back and the buff was removed.]
When all the red dot mini-bosses are down, BP ends and you focus fire on the big boss. Just repeat.. BUT each round will have more of those mini-bosses (up to 4, I think). So you need to kill them all (focus fire!), to end BP.
Rewards: There will be a BLUE BAG and LOCKED PURPLE BAG. Blue bag usually drops blue signets. (Most group FFA this one) Locked purple bag can have any combinations of the ff: epic aux upgrade\s, purple signet\s, 10.1 non-customizeable talis and weapons. (Usually 4 pcs of loot.) [5bbs to all players who loots the purple bag after]
IMPORTANT: ♤ The purple bag is LOCKED. The key you need is called "Delivering Ritual: A Shade of Dream". This key is made up of 3 delivering ritual fragments which are: Head, Hand, Heart. (Sometimes in AH.) ♤ Some raids will let people with keys /roll for the bag. The winner will need to turn on Master Looter. (TIP: you can view what is inside the bag by RIGHT CLICKING after unlocking.) Some /roll winners won't want what they get so they can distribute what is left this way. (You can do this by right clicking the item and choosing the name of the person on the drop down list.) ♤ IF you won the /roll and opened the bag. DO NOT FORGET TO SET LOOT TO FFA ONCE YOU ARE DONE WITH THE BAG! So that the rest of the people can get their 5bbs.
I think that covers most of the fight..... (now about opening the portal xD)

Drops from: PURPLE BAG N'gha-pei the Corpse Island (aka Eidolon Raid)

Issue 9
I might have found a way to get money to buy issue 9
Without having to sell my soul. Please please please.. I hope it is enough for at least 1 issue. If not.. time to clean some shoes. Also.. the currency thing with FC is just so damn painful. EUR != USD.
